"Can be used after blocking an attack to quickly turn a defensive position into an offensive one."

—Street Fighter 6

The Yoga Illusion (ヨガイリュージョン, Yoga Iryūjyon^?) is Dhalsim's Drive Reversal, introduced in Street Fighter 6.

Input

Classic	++ (While blocking or during Drive Parry)
Modern	+ (While blocking or during Drive Parry)

Description

Executed by pressing forward plus Heavy Punch and Heavy Kick (or pressing forward and Drive Impact for Modern Control), Dhalsim extends his arms and whirls them around in a circle, using them like whips.

Tactics

As a Drive Reversal, Yoga Illusion serves as a way for Dhalsim to escape offensive pressure being applied to him; similar to Alpha Counter or V-Reversal. It cost 2 bars of Drive Gauge. This move can be only be performed when Dhalsim is in blockstun or on a successful Drive Parry. Upon activation, Dhalsim is fully invincible during the startup and active frames of this move. On hit, it inflicts decent amount of provisional damage. Yoga Illusion can also break armor. It is also effective in keeping the opponent in the corner should they attempt to force their way out. After knocking them back with Yoga Illusion, Dhalsim can reapply pressure with fireballs or his long-range pokes.
